The Complete USB 2.0 IP Solution: Understanding Today's Design Considerations and Managing Tomorrow's Challenges
Select 'Register' to attend this event or 'View Series' for more information on Synopsys DesignWare IP Webinar Series 2007
Overview:

Are you ready to integrate high-speed USB IP into your SoCs? With over 1500 successful USB tape-outs ranging from 0.35 micron down to 65 nm processes, Synopsys has identified key considerations that will help you seamlessly integrate the digital controller and PHY IP into your design. By using application examples and customer case studies from companies such as Open-Silicon, this discussion will cover system software, protocol, and PHY integration issues common to USB implementation for today's ultra-low power and cost sensitive designs. Understand how the next five years of USB designs will be shaped by consumer and technology demands for 45nm process and next generation USB standards.

    Moderator:

    Clive "Max" Maxfield has now spent over a quarter of a century in the electronic, computing, and EDA arenas. In 1980, after obtaining his BSc in Control Engineering (an interesting mixture of math, electronics, mechanics, and hydraulics and fluids), Max joined a design team at International Computers Limited (ICL) creating CPUs for mainframe computers. In addition to designing ASICs and circuit boards, Max has written numerous test programs for functional and in-circuit testers. In the area of digital logic simulation, Max has created models of everything from ASIC cell libraries to microprocessors. Due to his digital expertise, Max was once appointed analog marketing manager at a large EDA company (the world is a funny old place sometimes).

    In the early 1990s, Max thought it would be fun to see a book he'd written on the shelves in his local book store, so he penned his first tome Bebop to the Boolean Boogie (An Unconventional Guide to Electronics). Since that time, Max has authored and co-authored a number of books, including EDA: Where Electronics Begins, The Design Warrior's Guide to FPGAs, and How Computers Do Math (Featuring the Virtual DIY Calculator).

    Presenters:

    Eric Huang worked on USB at the beginning in 1995 with the world's first BIOS that supported USB Keyboards and Mice while at Award Software. After a departure into embedded systems software for real-time operating systems, Eric returned to USB cores and software at inSilicon, the leading supplier of USB IP in the world. inSilicon was acquired by Synopsys in 2002. Eric currently serves as Chairman of the USB On-The-Go Working Group for the USB Implementors Forum.

    Eric Huang received an M.B.A. from Santa Clara University and an M.S. in Engineering from University of California Irvine, and a B.S. in Engineering from the University of Minnesota. He is a licensed Professional Engineer in Civil Engineering in the State of California.

    Gervais Fong is a Senior Product Marketing Manager for Mixed-Signal PHY IP at Synopsys. Gervais has over 20 years of experience holding product marketing and product management positions covering ASIC, FPGA, EDA, and IP products. Gervais holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of California, Berkeley.
